# RSS Widget always blank

 * Every time I try to add an RSS feed widget to my site – I click save and it goes
   blank. I have to hit the back button to get back to normal and see my site again.
 * I’m not sure if it’s related, but on the admin page there appears to be several
   rss feeds by default of the new install and these just sit and say “Loading..”
   all the time. These are the sections that say “Incoming Links” “plugins” “WordPress
   Development Blog” “Other WordPress News”
 * I’ve tried just about everything I could think of and found by searching. Turned
   off all plugins, went to default theme – checked wp_config.php for blank lines…
 * My actual RSS feed for my own site works fine – I just can’t add other peoples
   RSS feeds to my site – anyone have a clue?

 * This sucks – I picked this software b/c of how well it works with RSS – and now
   I can’t get it to work at all – to much content to start over. 🙁 No one has 
   seen this before?

 * Where is your site hosted? This isn’t a problem with WordPress. It sounds more
   like a problem with your site being unable to contact the outside world. Have
   a word with your hosting provider.
